is_scipy_sparse(arr) -> 'bool'

Notes

If scipy is not installed, this function will always return False.

Parameters

arr : array-like

The array-like to check.

Returns

boolean

Whether or not the array-like is a scipy.sparse.spmatrix instance.

Check whether an array-like is a scipy.sparse.spmatrix instance.

Examples

This example is valid syntax, but we were not able to check execution

>>> from scipy.sparse import bsr_matrix
... is_scipy_sparse(bsr_matrix([1, 2, 3]))
True

This example is valid syntax, but we were not able to check execution

>>> is_scipy_sparse(pd.arrays.SparseArray([1, 2, 3]))
False

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
